It was only a few days back, when PeeCee was attending a beauty event in Los Angeles where a Pakistani-American woman accused Priyanka to have encouraged war between India and Pakistan through her tweet in support of the Indian Army. This was said in reference to Priyanka’s February tweet, ‘Jai Hind #IndianArmedForces’, after the Balakot airstrikes. Finally, the UN has spoken about the issue, and believes that the actor has the right to speak in her personal capacity and her personal views don’t reflect those of UNICEF.

UN supports PeeCee on Pak row

Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson for Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said: “When UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors speak in their personal capacity, they retain the right to speak about issues that interest or concern them. Their personal views or actions do not necessarily reflect those of UNICEF. When they speak on behalf of UNICEF, we expect them to adhere to UNICEF's evidence-based, impartial positions. The UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors are prominent individuals who have agreed to generously volunteer their time and their public profile to promote children's rights.”

Pakistan asked UN to remove PC as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador

Pakistan's Human Rights minister Shireen Mazari wrote a letter to the UN asking removal of PC as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. The letter read: “Her jingoism and support for violations by the Modi government of international conventions and UN Security Council resolutions on Kashmir, as well as support for war, including a nuclear war, undermines the credibility of the UN position to which she has been elevated. Unless she is removed immediately, the very idea of a UN goodwill ambassador for peace becomes a mockery globally.”

Bollywood celebrities came out in support of PeeCee too

Bollywood celebrities like Ayushmann Khurrana, Ali Abbas Zafar, Kangana Ranaut, Madhur Bhandarkar, Javed Akhtar, and Kunal Kohli had come out in support of her speaking in favour of Priyanka. Ayushmann said: “Priyanka Chopra is representing our country very well. She is not an Indian icon, but a global icon. Being a daughter of an army officer, she is a good representative of India.” While Kangana, who always had PeeCee’s back told ETimes, “It’s not an easy choice to make... being a UNICEF goodwill ambassador sure you can’t limit your identity to one nation, but how many of us choose heart over mind every day?”

Well, PeeCee must be so relieved now to get all the support from the UN after facing so much backlash.
